You get to decide the winner of the People’s Choice Award for the AI Video Competition! Voting is simple, just give all your favourite videos a “thumbs up” on YouTube (thumbs appear when you play the video). The video with the most thumbs up will be awarded the People’s Choice Award. And make sure to spread the word, voting closes on January 27 at midnight (CST).

The AAAI Video Competition is now entering its ninth year and the award ceremony will be held on January 29 in conjunction with the AAAI-15 conference in Austin Texas, USA. Authors of award-winning videos will receive “Shakeys”, trophies named in honor of SRI’s Shakey robot and its pioneering video. In addition to the People’s Choice Award, a panel of experts in AI will decide on awards for Best Video and Best Student Video.

The goal of the competition is to show the world how much fun AI is by documenting exciting artificial intelligence advances in research, education, and application.
